Tips and Quotes for Birthday Cards
There are many occasions throughout the year when cards are sent in Germany. It depends on the occasion, the sender, and the recipient. However, in general, one should try to leave a professional and creative impression. Some people have trouble with this. What suggestions and tips can help them achieve this impression?
Strategies for Creating Cards
First, it depends on the occasion. Should friends of your own daughter be invited to her birthday party? Is a happy retiree sending save-the-date cards to various guests for his 65th birthday? Or do party-goers need their own bottle labels for an anniversary at their regular rented pub, to creatively set the scene for a merry celebration? Those who are hosting and using cards for it should keep a few things in mind.
Finding a child-appropriate, serious, or fun design is, depending on the case, the most important thing for such cards. However, when inviting couples, friends, or relatives sit down together, ideas can be exchanged and great concepts emerge. Those who don't find this so easy can choose from dozens of design suggestions at print service providers. Not only colors and ideas for the print, but also the format (for example, a folded card in postcard format with four pages), the size (such as in this case 300 x 105 millimeters when open), the paper type, or extras like felt, clay, or metal elements can be integrated here.
The design should also match the occasion. For smaller birthday celebrations, those doing the inviting can also consider making the appropriate number of cards themselves. However, this takes a lot of time and energy. In addition, it is common with modern print service providers to upload your own images or texts into templates. This way, it is possible to bring in your own creativity while still having professional cards available.
Quotes for a Greeting Card
The best approach is to think of something that truly relates to the recipients, the sender, or the occasion. It is possible to come up with your own poem or a few nice words. This feels very personal and you can address the recipients directly. However, it can come across as forced. Besides, not everyone has the talent to write freely off the top of their head.
For example, someone writing a card to the retiree mentioned above could use a quote like the following:
"Age is like wine.
It has to be a good vintage."
(Unknown author)
Quotes from well-known personalities, such as famous athletes, actors, writers, or philosophers are also – when chosen aptly – a creative enrichment for the card. For the same occasion, one could quote the Prague author Franz Kafka ("The Metamorphosis", "The Trial") with the words:
Fig. Examples of greeting cards
"Anyone who keeps the ability to recognise beauty
will never grow old."
For younger birthday children, a slightly more casual tone is generally appropriate. A poem like this perhaps better expresses the corresponding feeling of life.
(Insert NAME here) turns a round 20 today,
I think that's absolutely great.
For soon there'll be a big celebration,
that'll make the walls shake.
Let yourself be cuddled, let yourself be hugged
and have someone look into your eyes.
Let yourself receive many kisses
from all those who are fond of you!
(Unknown author)
For younger children, a certain sensitivity is needed to make sure the child understands the saying at all.
"I know of a little mouse,
for whom there's now a birthday feast.
I wish you all the very best
on your birthday celebration!
(Unknown author)
These and many other sayings, poems, and quotes give every greeting that special something and may stay in the recipient's memory for a long time.
